I used Tropic Marin Pro and didn't like it so much. I have the Elos test kit (which I found to be pretty reliable) and had tested it to be low in Magnesium and Calcium.

However, I did not mix the entire bucket of salt at a time so I can't verify for certain. But it was still annoying that I had to dose an entire gallon of Tech-M in the amount of time that I used two buckets of TMP.

Red Sea Coral Pro seems to be the most rounded salt I have found
